It was a shocking discovery in an abandoned storage unit. Thousands of medical charts, all listed to Southwest Medical. 
Larry Coldmire bought the contents of the storage unit for just $25 dollars in an auction. He had hoped to find 
treasures that he could turn into a profit, but what was there instead is identity theft just waiting to happen.

"That was a little bit too much information because I don't want anyone getting in touch with my medical records, 
because I have had my identity stolen before and I am still fighting with it in the credit bureau," he said.

Coldmire has alerted police to the records left by Southwest Medical Association. He tried to call the medical group, 
but a recording said the number was out of service.
